Discovery VideosLyubov Hoffman Laroche, Gary Wulfsberg, Barbara Young The use of digital video for instruction has many advantages. In many situations the only way to present some chemical phenomena is through the use of video. The two video lessons presented here are examples intended to supplement our article in the August 2003 issue of JCE.

Periodicity / Periodic Table
Paramagnetism: Compounds Vials of a number of compounds (NaCl, MnSO4, FeSO4, CoCl2, NiSO4, ZnSO4, K4Fe(CN)6, [Co(NH3)6]Cl3, [Ni(NH3)6]Cl2, and H2O) are hung from a thread. When a magnet is brought near, some of the vials are attracted.

Atomic Properties / Structure
Paramagnetism: Oxidation States of Manganese Manganese(III) oxide, with 4 unpaired electrons per Mn atom, is more strongly attracted to a magnet than is manganese(IV) oxide, with only 3 unpaired electrons per Mn atom. Potassium permanganate, a compound of Mn(VII), has no unpaired electrons and is not attracted to a magnet.
Lanthanum (La) and Actinium (Ac) Should Remain in the d-blockLaurence Lavelle This paper discusses the reasons and implications of placing lanthanum and actinium in the f-block and lutetium and lawrencium in the d-block. Lavelle, Laurence. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1482.

Forecasting Periodic Trends: A Semester-Long Team Exercise for Nonscience MajorsJohn Tierney Teams of students in a course for nonscience majors identify trends among the properties of elements in the periodic table, use Excel to plot and produce best-fit equations to describe relationships among those properties, and apply the resulting formulas to predict and justify the properties of missing elements. Tierney, John. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1215.

Trends in Ionization Energy of Transition-Metal ElementsPaul S. Matsumoto Examines why, as the number of protons increase along a row in the periodic table, the first ionization energies of the transition-metal elements are relatively steady, but that for the main-group elements increases. Matsumoto, Paul S. J. Chem. Educ.2005, 82, 1660.
